Regenerative, sustainable and bountiful gardens are not just for commercial growers. We want to see as many thriving home gardens as possible. Supplementing the weekly meals, or providing the bulk, it doesn't matter. Get the most out of your home garden next year - or start a new one, and enjoy the benefits of fresh homegrown food.
This series will cover some of the principles and theory we use to produce great food, along with showing you how we do it.
All the workshops will be held on Saturday morning at the farm in Greytown.
PRACTICAL
COMPOSTING
Compost is the three course meal for the soil. It's a balanced diet for the microbes and soil animals feeding your garden, and it's easy to make.
Join Sheldon at the compost heap to learn from his many years making compost, and the best ways to make great compost at home!
POLYCROPPING/
INTERPLANTING
Polycropping is a simple way to get more growing in a small space. It also has many benefits for the soil and ecology of your garden. Come along to learn how it works, and see some simple planting guilds in action.
MICROGREENS
Microgreens are a simple way to have year round greens for you and your family. They can be grown in the kitchen or in the garden.
Come along and learn this simple technique, and leave with your first tray to harvest a few weeks later.
SEEDS TO SEEDLINGS
Learn how we take our seeds from the packet to a strong & healthy seedling ready for transplant. Learn the techniques for the different familes, what soil mix to use and other tips and tricks we have learned over the years of growing.
July is a great time to get your seeds ordered and ready to start your Spring garden, so come along and join us for the first sowings of the new season.
THE SOIL IS ALIVE!
The soil is literally teeming with life and learning to team up with them is the easiest and most sustainable way to manage your garden soils.
